Green Tea Red Bean Longan Mooncake 绿茶红豆龙眼冰皮月饼
Actually, I am still experimenting the usage of green tea powder because some of the time it turns out in such fantastic colour and some other time it is not ! I wonder if it is related to the branding or the mixing method. I will start investigating as soon as I found some other branding of green tea. The latest batch of green tea colour turns out to be really dull compare to the tea powder I bought 2 years ago, as shown the above picture.
Ingredients for Green Tea snow skin dough :
140gm koh fun (cooked glutinous rice flour)
10gm green tea powder
45gm Crisco shortening
200ml ice water
150gm icing sugar
*550gm red bean paste
Method :
(1) mix together koh fun, cocoa powder & dark cocoa powder into a big bowl till well combined.
(2) rub in shortening till everything became fine crumb.
(3) stir in syrup water & ice water till soft dough is foamed. Then set aside to rest for 30 minutes before used.
TO ASSEMBLE
For large mooncake, divide green tea dough into 63-65gm each and red bean paste into 90gm each then round it. Now, wrap bean paste with green tea dough and nicely sealed. Then coat it with koh fun then mould it with mooncake moulds. Best to keep refrigerated before serving.
For small mooncake, divide snow skin dough into 20gm each and red bean paste into 30gm each.
